The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 703 - 211: The Grand Unification Plan

Flower Fairy was leading the charge, and the others also discerned her intent, as pairs of eyes turned towards Lin Yun, each gaze filled with varying expressions.

There’s a saying that the leading bird is the first to be shot, and it seems that the Flower Fairy is inviting such a fate.

"Speak."

Lin Yun’s face was the picture of calm composure.

A mere Shura Field is nothing special.

Worst comes to worst, I’ll just faint on the spot.

No big deal.

Everyone assumed that Flower Fairy was going to bring up the issue of Lin Yun’s harem. Among these people, only Flower Fairy was young and active enough; figures like Fang Yu and Jiang Chenyu would definitely be too embarrassed to initiate this harem competition.

However, if Flower Fairy took the lead, they would also join the fray.

The Flower Fairy started by saying, "Regarding the great catastrophe prophesied, I have some thoughts. According to what Daoist Master Yuxuan said, its essence lies in the imbalance between the clear and the turbid. This is why Heaven unleashes its lethal power. The purpose of the great catastrophe is not to destroy the world but to maintain world balance."

This was content from the early meetings of the leaders, something Flower Fairy should not have known, but after joining Lin Yun’s harem group, some intelligence was shared. Among those present who had attended the meeting, there were three people; the events that transpired were no longer secrets.

The principles Daoist Master Yuxuan spoke of were simple and easy to understand, yet Flower Fairy still harbored her own thoughts.

"Since the so-called catastrophe is bound to happen and moreover is there to protect this world, then why must we make changes to it?"

What does it mean to be startled into wakefulness by a word?

Even Lin Yun, as clever as he was, hadn’t thought in this direction.

It’s a mental inertia.

The mention of a catastrophe naturally leads to thoughts of how to overcome it.

There’s also a method provided: sacrificing the lives of some to save the whole world.

This shifts the question to whether or not to sacrifice, and how to conduct it.

Problems arise during the implementation, and it’s from this point that alternative solutions are considered.

But if you truly trace it back to the roots and think about it, as Flower Fairy said, if the catastrophe is indeed as Daoist Master Yuxuan described it, they really don’t need to do anything.

Heaven and Earth cannot accommodate too many cultivators, so lethal forces are created, leading to various conflicts. In this manner, those who die in battle can also be considered victims of the Heavenly Mandate, and their deaths allow Heaven and Earth to recover.

The current situation is precisely because too many top-tier cultivators acted out during previous wars, breaking the arrangements of the Heavenly Mandate. According to Daoist Master Yuxuan, this would expand the lethal forces, possibly to the point of affecting the entire world eventually.

This reasoning seems quite plausible, but it somewhat humanizes the will of Heaven.

Defiance is met with double punishment. Originally meant to die were a hundred thousand, now a million are to perish.

This contradicts the logic of the "impartiality of the Heavenly Dao," and also conflicts with the idea that Heaven releases lethal power just to maintain the world’s balance.

Flower Fairy brought this point up not to suggest that everyone give up their resistance to the catastrophe, but rather to highlight the contradiction.

After being enlightened by her, Lin Yun also began to analyze it comprehensively.

He held some information about the future in his hands; in the future, a flood would inundate the world, with only a handful of humans surviving, and other kinds of creatures would become scarce as well.

This confirmed that Daoist Master Yuxuan’s prophecy was indeed accurate.

If the lethal catastrophe could not be resolved in advance, it would only grow larger.

Once this point is ascertained, what conflicts with it is naturally mistaken.

That is to say...

The Heavenly Dao is not impartial and is not just about maintaining the world’s balance?

Lin Yun was deeply perturbed, feeling that his thoughts were entering a taboo realm; he quickly interjected, "I think we don’t need to get to the bottom of this matter. What we need to do now is to meet the soldiers with generals and stem the flood with earth."

Flower Fairy had expected Lin Yun to follow her line of thought, but instead, he promptly rejected her suggestion and quickly changed the subject.

"Besides guarding against the Divine Race and Demon Race, there’s another important place, and that’s where I’m building a dam in Cloud Dream Marsh."

In the future, the Lifeless Water would spread across the world, likely due to some catastrophe at the dam in Cloud Dream Marsh.

The crowd was unaware of the reasons, but they still placed implicit trust in what Lin Yun said. Bai Jiaojiao made her stand clear, "I will keep a good watch over there."

She was the only one temporarily without duties, and now she seemed to have found something to do.

Palace intrigue is omnipresent, and by stepping forward when Lin Yun needed her the most, she would naturally become an irreplaceable figure in his heart.

Not like Flower Fairy who loved to create issues, or Jiang Chenyu who only knew how to plaintively await affection; neither of them could secure the position of the main wife.

As for Dongfang Hongyue and Lin Yu, although they seemed to be leading, they might not necessarily be the ultimate winners.

As Bai Jiaojiao watched the tigers fight from the safety of her mountain, without engaging in conflict, she would be the biggest winner!

It has to be said, her moves were all in the details.

Lin Yun nodded. Given Bai Jiaojiao’s abilities and status, she was indeed the most suitable for this task.

It seemed that Flower Fairy still had more to say, but Lin Yun didn’t want her to continue.

It was okay for him to ponder these things privately, but if everyone collectively discussed and concluded that the Heavenly Dao was unjust or perhaps even sentient, it could lead to serious trouble.

This was the reason he stopped the conversation from continuing. Fortunately, although Flower Fairy felt dissatisfied, she did not protest.

She was quite well-behaved, after all.

But...

Now, how should I wrap this up?

Lin Yun pondered, having said almost all he needed to about his official business, what was left was how to get along with so many women?

Whether taking them one by one, or in groups of two, Lin Yun would have all sorts of naughty ideas in his head.

But with so many people around, Lin Yun couldn’t possibly suggest they all sleep together, right?

The fact that they’re not fighting each other is already a blessing, and he wants to join in on the fight?

However, this ultimate fantasy might as well be entertained; aside from Jiang Chenyu, who’s relatively easy to bully, the rest had strong personalities. To have them face such a shameful situation, oh, the thrill!

But such things need to be taken slowly, can’t be rushed, he needed to proceed one by one.

Unconsciously, Lin Yun’s thoughts drifted off track.

He was supposed to be seriously considering matters like the Grand Cataclysm, but now all he could think of were lewd fantasies.

However, in this aspect, his thoughts flowed exceptionally smoothly; Lin Yun felt he could start with two people, slowly corrupt the rest, and ultimately achieve a great unification.

The two easiest targets, Lin Yun set his sights on Jiang Chenyu and the Flower Fairy.

Upon this thought, Lin Yun suddenly had a solution to the problem; he seriously said to Lin Yu, "Yu’er, you’re skilled at setting up formations. Can you help me set up some entrapment formations nearby?"

The entrapment formation was for Yuan Zidan, and Lin Yu was the best at formations besides him.

Not only that, but Lin Yun also whispered to Lin Yu, "Little Flower and her master still have unresolved grievances, and I want to help them clear it up."

This explanation was quite sensible, but Lin Yu still gave Lin Yun a glare.

The title "Yu’er," when it was just the two of them, sounded quite pleasant, but in front of so many people, she felt inexplicably ashamed. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Though she felt embarrassed, she couldn’t exactly express it and had to pull Fang Yu along, saying, "The Sect Master also has experience in setting up entrapment formations. How about we go together?"

Fang Yu agreed without really understanding the situation.

Lin Yun then sent Dongfang Hongyue to look for an ambush spot, also explaining his desire to help the Flower Fairy and Jiang Chenyu resolve their grudges.

He wasn’t entirely lying; after being truthful with each other, no matter how big the grudge, it would eventually fade away, especially since the grudge between this master and disciple wasn’t that deep.

He used the same method to send Bai Jiaojiao away, logically arranging an ambush while creating opportunities for himself and dissolving the Shura Field.

This move, I must say, I am a genius!

But looking at Zhen Li, who was still left, Lin Yun started to get a headache.

What should he arrange for her to do?

A thought struck Lin Yun, and he said to Zhen Li, "When they come back, it will just be getting dark. How about you help me fish? Catch a lot, and I’ll cook dinner for you all."

Zhen Li: "..."

She didn’t quite understand why he wanted her to fish; she didn’t even know how!

But since Lin Yun had arranged it, if she said she didn’t know how, wouldn’t that disappoint him?

Not wanting to disappoint Lin Yun, Zhen Li immediately accepted the task and left.

It’s just fishing; if I don’t know how, I can learn!

She had seen others fish before, and it seemed not too difficult.

With Zhen Li gone, there were only three people left on the boat.

Jiang Chenyu was initially waiting for Lin Yun to assign her a task, but when it was just her and the Flower Fairy left, she suddenly understood.

As expected, Lin Yun didn’t assign tasks to her and the Flower Fairy but took the Flower Fairy by one hand and reached out for her with the other.

"Let’s go inside and talk."

Neither Jiang Chenyu nor the Flower Fairy seemed to resist this suggestion.

Actually, the grudge between them wasn’t irreconcilable anymore; they just lacked the right moment to resolve it.

The initial hatred wasn’t so unfathomable. Objectively speaking, the Flower Fairy was more at fault, and Jiang Chenyu was comparatively innocent.

But it was a blessing in disguise for her to have advanced to the second level of her Divine Skill. The Flower Fairy’s past mistake was understandable, and Jiang Chenyu had no intention of killing her, especially now that the Flower Fairy had grown stronger.

As for the Flower Fairy, she initially hated Jiang Chenyu to the bone. But later, when the truth came out, she learned that the destruction of Thousand Mechanism Valley was related to the Righteous Path, but it wasn’t entirely their fault. Jiang Chenyu was even more innocent.

The Flower Fairy did want to apologize to Jiang Chenyu, knowing the harm she had caused couldn’t be fixed with a mere apology, but it was the thought that counted.

There just wasn’t a good opportunity before, and now upon her return, she realized that Jiang Chenyu was already involved with Lin Yun.

Given her personality, how could she speak the words of apology!

So, the relationship between the two became awkward.

With Lin Yun mediating, it was like pushing the boat with the current.

"The cabin is a bit small, let’s get closer. After all, we’re all friends here. It’s better to just speak openly..."

Lin Yun wrapped an arm around Jiang Chenyu and the other around the Flower Fairy.

Embracing one on each side, quite comfortable.

Jiang Chenyu and the Flower Fairy didn’t feel anything amiss at first until they both leaned on Lin Yun’s shoulders and caught each other’s gaze, their eyes widening.

They understood talking at close quarters, but Lin Yun’s closeness was a little too much for them!
